I have a 14g biocube been up and running for 5 years now. Some coral I have is mushrooms and zoas. I have a oyster that is covered in mushrooms I also have two phantom clown fish.
I just recently got the clowns. I love looking at my tank and finding new hitchhikers every day even though it is an established tank
I have two phantom clowns in my 14g biocube. They were the same size when I bought them a few weeks ago, around an inch. The other morning I noticed them kind of bickering and one would start to shake, I was excited yay they might become a mated pair!!! Well when I came home that night I noticed tons of little white dots on one and none on the other I freaked out and thought ich!!! so I put them back in the QT, Well I got the ich-attack and started to treat. well I noticed the next morning that it might not be ich but him getting beat up by the other. On day two in QT and he is getting worse she beats him while I sleep. He has bruising on his head and on his back and looks like he is missing part of his fins.
I don't know what to do they are so cute and I don't want one to die, is there something I could do to help him get nourished back to health while this is taking place? I am lost and don't want to lose him, any ideas please!!!!
